Leica 90mm f/2.8

90mm on a Leica rangefinder camera is kind of a strange lens. I love the compression and over all look of the focal length, but the box in the rangefinder of most Leica bodies makes using the lens a little more difficult then shorter lenses. The box in the rangefinder for 90mm is kind of …

Nikon F4 Review

I got my hands on a Nikon F4 film camera this fall. I put together a short video review of the camera. I shot all the photos with a 50mm f/1.4D lens and Kodak Ektar 100 35mm film in the camera. I just took a little walk around the Japanese Garden in Kelowna, BC and …

Another Leica M3

In the spring I sold my Leica M3. I enjoyed the camera, but I wasn’t using it as much as I thought I should be. I also found myself using other cameras a lot, but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the M3, I just had other cameras I wanted to try. So I though …

Nikon L35AF Film Camera Review

I did a video review of the Nikon L35AF film camera. I just took a little walk around a park by my house and shot some photos. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. If your just getting started in film photography this camera might be a good place to start. I will post some …

Nikon F90X Film Camera Review

In this video I review of one of my favourite film cameras, the Nikon F90X with the 50mm f/1.4D lens. I shot a roll of expired Kodak Max 400 35mm film for this review. Since I have shot with this camera a lot and I already know what kind of pictures I can get out …

Leica M3 Videos

I recently got a Leica M3 rangefinder camera. I’ve been shooting with it the past month and getting to know the camera. I’ve loved nearly every moment I’ve had this camera in my hand. It’s fun to use and it just plain looks cool. Loading film into this camera is not like any other camera. …

Olympus mju-1 Film Camera Review

I recently got my hands and a Olympus mju-1 35mm film camera. I ran a roll of Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 through it and did a review of the camera. I got a sunset and did a little street photography in my neighbourhood in Kelowna BC, Canada. Even if your not into film photography, I …

Life on The Edge

I took a little trip out to Fintry Provincial Park a couple days ago to shoot some photos and make a video. I was doing a little review of the Nikon Nikkor 14mm f/2.8 lens. I shot some photos in this abandoned house and then made my way up a mountain to a this waterfall. …

Nikon Nikkor-H 85mm 1.8

I recently got my hands on a Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 prime lens. Nikon released this version of the lens in 1964, so it’s definitely got some vintage qualities to it. I love the old look of the lens and it produces good photos. The lens isn’t perfect, but for the low price you’d pay for …

Pelican Case Alternative

I bought this Pelican style case for my Pentax 6×7. I never thought I’d ever want to use a case like this for a camera. But when I thought about traveling with my 6×7 the idea of it banging around in the back of a car with a bunch of other suitcases in just a …

What does it take to scratch a lens?

Ever wonder just how much abuse a camera lens can take before scratches will start to show up? I use UV filters, mainly for protection and I was wondering this exact question so I decided to put a lens to the test. I tried “cleaning” the lens with a few different things. I shook the …

Pentax 6×7

I recently got my hands on a new medium format film Pentax 6×7 kit. Well new to me, as they stoped making this model of the camera in 1989. However, the kit I got is in such perfect condition you could easily mistake it for a brand new camera. I have been wanting one of …

Minolta 50mm 1.2 vs Pentax 55mm 1.8

I have been shooting with my Minolta 50mm f/1.2 for a long time now. I have always known the short comings of the lens and had accepted the trade offs (like lack of sharpness wide open) for the f/1.2 speed. I have also had my Pentax 55mm f/1.8 for a long time, but haven’t shot …
